MAINTENANCE
Transporting
Always secure the machine using the three tie
down D-rings to avoid damage during
transport. The rings are located on the frame
base, one in front and two at the rear.
NOTE: Never tow the machine as this may
cause damage to the drive components.
Storing
Complete the tasks listed below prior to storing
the saw for longer time frames:
•
Drain the water lines/hoses and blow out
with air.
•
Turn off all switches and controls.
•
Lower the saw completely to remove strain
on the lifting mechanism.
•
Clean and wipe down the saw to remove
dust, debris, and slurry from saw
components (especially fans).
•
Remove the battery and store in a proper
location, out of reach from children.
•
Refer to the engine manual for all engine
and fuel recommendations prior to storing.
•
Store the saw in a dry area, protected from
outdoor elements and out of reach from
children.
Disposal
Dispose of the saw when it’s no longer
repairable, and/or contains safety hazards not
worth repairing or maintaining. Complete the
tasks listed below when discontinuing usage:
•
Drain all fluids and dispose of
according to city, state, and federal
regulations.
•
Remove the battery and bring to a
recycling facility; many battery retailers
also accept old batteries.
•
Transport the saw to a salvage yard or
recycling facility.
Engine Regeneration
The engine is installed with a Diesel Particulate
Filter (DPF). A DPF is a device designed to
remove diesel particulate matter or soot from
the exhaust gas of the diesel engine. This
removal process is called a regeneration.
There are three types of regeneration
associated with the engine:
•
Passive
•
Active
•
Parked
There are five status levels that correspond to
each particular regeneration type:
•
Level 1 - Passive regeneration
•
Level 2 - Active regeneration
•
Levels 3 & 4 - Parked regeneration
•
Level 5 – Regeneration impossible
Passive Regeneration
Occurs when the temperature of the exhaust is
high enough to naturally burn off at least some
of the particulates (soot) captured by the DPF.
Most normal use of the saw where the engine is
operated under full load will cause exhaust
temperatures high enough (above 300°C /
572°F) to produce passive regen, preventing
soot buildup. There is no action required from
operator and there is no effect on machine
operation.
This type of regeneration corresponds to
Level 1 status as long as the “Regen
Settings” in the Utilities menu are set to
“Uninhibit Regen” (default setting). If it is set
on “Inhibit Regeneration” a yellow Level 1
pop-up message will appear on the control
screen:
Regeneration Level 1 Yellow Caution
When this pop-up message appears, the
operator can choose one of two options:
1. Reset the “Regen Settings” in the Utilities
menu to “Uninhibit Regen”. This will allow
for a passive regeneration to occur without
further action from the operator.
2. Cancel out of the regeneration process and
return to the Home screen. This will not
allow for a passive regeneration to occur
and the DPF will continue to build up diesel
particulate matter. No further action from
the operator is required at this time.
